"The great object of life is sensation - to feel that we exist, even though in pain" -Lord Byron

Almost all neurons co-release peptides and small transmitters. Thrilled to share our latest research where new GRAB sensor promotes better understanding of the dynamics and molecular regulation between neuropeptide and neurotransmitter release in vivo. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Understanding the molecular diversity of synapses — a Review by Marc van Oostrum & Erin M. Schuman go.nature.com/3ZKmRVx @Marc_vOo @erin_schuman

There are many nuances regarding the structural neural plasticity associated with antidepressant drugs. 💊🧠 We share our thoughts here in a @NatRevNeurosci article, led by @ItsClaraLiao and included co-authors from Conor Liston’s lab at @WCMPsychiatry nature.com/articles/s4158…

We are proud to announce the newest recipients of our independence awards. These 13 talented early-career scientists will receive support from @SCGlobalBrain @SCAgingBrain & @SFARIorg as they transition from mentored training to independent research. simonsfoundation.org/2024/08/15/sim…

@TheBaleLab @sthom003 No doubt💯

@LaceMRiggs @sthom003 You can guess who came up with it 😉

And we are LIVE! @sthom003 and I finally have our lab website. Check out the Laboratory of Translational Psychiatry and all the great work by our team. 🧠Research, Training and Community. Thanks to @stellatecomms for their ingenuity on this. balethompsonltp.org

@mazen_kheirbek @UCSFNSGrad Great name!

We are super excited to host the next round of UCSF EPSP talks! Postdocs, come give a talk in the 2023-2024 @UCSFNSGrad Neuroscience Formal Seminar Series. Great opportunity to show off your work and meet the UCSF neuroscience community. Please share with great candidates and RT!

Frog and Toad sat close by the fire. They were scared. The teacups shook in their hands. They were having the shivers. It was a good, warm feeling.

Congratulations to Salk Professor Terry Sejnowski! He received an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Princeton University. Sejnowski has published more than 1,000 scientific papers, reports, and book chapters and numerous books, including The Deep Learning Revolution in 2018; his next book, ChatGPT and the Future of AI: The Deep Language Revolution, is slated for publication this fall. @Princeton princeton.edu/news/2024/05/2…

Just Announced! The #KavliPrize2024 Laureates in #Neuroscience!

A really great read! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are excited to announce our new Special Issue on research advances in Neuropsychiatric Disorders is open for submission @Genes_MDPI! Please retweet - Research articles, reviews, and commentaries are welcome - November deadline - mdpi.com/journal/genes/…

"Neuropsychiatric Disorders: Genetics and Targeted Therapy", guest edited by Dr. Lace Riggs and Dr. Xin Fu from @MIT, is now open for submissions. Find out more information at: 🔗mdpi.com/journal/genes/…

Heartbreaking news. As a Simons postdoc fellow at MIT, I had the chance to present my work to Jim and Marilyn Simons when they visited in 2020. He is a visionary philanthropist who founded the Simons Foundation in 1994, and we learned so much about the genetics involved in ASD

We are excited to introduce the Johns Hopkins University OneNeuro Initiative. Neuroscience research and education is thriving across Johns Hopkins University in over 30 departments across all schools. The OneNeuro Initiative's vision is to bring the vast neuroscience community at Johns Hopkins together to promote interaction and collaboration and forge new understanding of the brain and mind in health and disease. This includes the full arc from molecules and cells to the complex network of neuronal circuits that constitute the mind. We hope you will visit the OneNeuro Website often to learn what is happening in the neuroscience community at Johns Hopkins.
